The City of Griswold has declared a snow emergency as of 12:00 A.M. on Monday, December 28, 2015. Per the City of Griswold Code of Ordinances, 2010, Section 3-3-32, “No person shall park, abandon or leave unattended any vehicle on any public street or alley during a plowable snow unless the snow has been removed or plowed from said street or alley and the snow has ceased to fall. A snow emergency parking ban shall continue from its initiation through the duration of the snow or ice storm and the forty-eight (48) hour period after cessation of such, except as above provided upon streets and alleys which have been fully plowed.”

During a snow emergency, the following parking rules apply:

• On streets where parking is permitted on both sides, all motor vehicles must be removed from the street or parked on the side of the street with even buildings numbers. After twelve hours after the declaration of the snow emergency, all motor vehicles shall be moved to the side of the street with odd building numbers until the full width of the street has been cleaned.

• On streets where parking is prohibited on one side at all times, motor vehicles shall be parked on the permitted side until one-half of the street has been cleaned. After twelve hours after the declaration of the snow emergency, motor vehicles shall then be parked on the “prohibited” side of the street until the full width of the street has been cleaned.

• Parking of motor vehicles is not permitted on streets where no parking on both sides of the street exists at all times or during specified hours.
